The experience of college students who were exposed to long term violence in Mexico and are now living in the U.S. in safety. Most people exposed to long term violence do not get the opportunity to have "respite" from it.

That is very interesting and I am sure this needs to be studied. Do you need a research assistant?

Up, pounding rain woke me up, then listened to DS put trash and recycle out for pick up today before he left for work. Not sure I could get up and go to work at 0330 daily! He opens the store and works the drive thru during the morning rush.

I rescheduled my pedi and facial for today. Afterwards I go get a massage. Then appropriately relaxed, I hope to work on my proposal some more. That's how I'm celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary.

DH will be home by 10 pm tonight - if the weather allows. We are supposed to have freezing mix and people here are not used to driving in that mess! Heck we are usually in shorts and t-shirts having a thanksgiving picnic on the patio this time of the year.

Winencandy is back posting. So glad, as I think that means her major stressor is resolving.

Slept well. DH put dogs out when he went to work and then corralled them in back hall. They let me sleep 2 more hours. They have eaten and are now snoozing - except for Juliet, she's doing her daily laps (walks a track around den and kitchen like she's working out). I'm drinking coffee, turned heater on, and getting ready to wash my hair. I've got my 12 week follow up with surgeon later this morning.

Glad DH got home safe. I'm sure your surgeon will be astounded at how well you have done. (Has it been 12 weeks? That's crazy!)

I would love to have a massage and stuff but I have a weird thing about people touching me. Just don't like it. Can't stand to have anyone touch my feet, which is unfortunate because we have a local wizard woman who does an amazing reflexology thing to your feet. All my friends go, but I can't bring myself to do it.

Surgeon cleared me. 10 inches off waist in 12 weeks. Follow up in 3 more months. Dropped off some packages at UPS and picked up some Christmas bags at the dollar store. Made taziki, marinated olives and cheese, spicy cranberry sauce, cheesecake, and pecan pie for tomorrow. Boiled eggs for deviling tomorrow. Watched White House Down for movie night with DH.
